This is big, like really really big. You probably have a better chance of seeing another Blur reunion than catching Damon Albarn with the Gorillaz live again. This could be their last album and tour. In the past, they have rarely played more than a handful of shows, so this is the exception. It is a bit expensive bringing 40 people on tour with you.
Their newest album, Plastic Beach, is pretty darn great. I'm drilling my brain trying to think of a show hitting the NW bigger than this, but the only acts I can think of are U2 (who they replaced as the headliner at Glastonbury), reunion bands who are not yet reunited (Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin), and maybe that one dude who doesn't like playing live music anymore (David Bowie). Okay, if you are over 40, you can name another fourteen or so almost dead guys who are bigger than this.
On the "Least Biggest Surprise" meter, another huge act is skipping Portland because the arenas here suck ass. Time for another road trip.
